Governor Umo Eno on Saturday officially received the political structure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State from the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

Eno announced this in a post on his official X account, saying that it was an emotional and symbolic moment at the APC Stakeholders Meeting held at the Government House Banquet Hall, Uyo, the state capital.

“I made it clear that this is not an acquisition, it is a merger, and it must be approached with love, unity, and understanding. We all must make sacrifices for the greater good of Akwa Ibom,” Eno wrote on X.

“I have urged our party leaders, from the wards up, to open their arms and hearts to welcome this move. Let’s build a stronger, united APC together.”

Governor Eno said he is here to work with everyone, grow the ruling political party, and support the vision of its leaders.

“My mission remains the same: peace, progress, and prosperity for our people under the ARISE Agenda. Let’s move forward together. God bless Akwa Ibom State.”

The Akwa Ibom State Governor last month announced his defection from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
